The nightlife of the capital is found in several different quarters, each of which has its own feel and its own risks. The area round the Old Town Square is full of travellers, busy bars, and performers on the street. But they also bring in pickpockets who are able to work effectively in crowded places. Wenceslas Square, the capital's active main road, has grand hotels, gambling houses, and clubs which operate through the night. But the streets running off it contain overpriced "gentlemen's clubs" and cab drivers who seek out those who are drunk. Žižkov, which is a rough, genuine area to the east of the city centre, provides a more local feeling with unusual pubs and music venues that are below ground level. Yet the alleys that have little light require you to be watchful after midnight. The riverbank zone, particularly in the area of Karlovy Lázně — a club with several floors in a building that was once used as a spa — is much visited but also somewhat disorganised, with long lines and the occasional fight.

The "pricey drinks" scheme is common in clubs where tourists are the main customers. A person you have only just met and who seems friendly asks you to have a drink with them; the bill then comes with very high amounts — often thousands of the local currency — and a security guard who tells you that you must pay. Always check the menu for prices before ordering. And never accept a drink that comes from someone you have only just met.

The "mock police" trick has people acting as plainclothes officers, who ask to look at your passport and your wallet, and then they take the cash. Real police officers from the Czech Republic wear official identification and never request to see your cash. If you are in any doubt, you should call the official police number, which is 158.

The exchange counters that are located near the nightlife areas often have rates that seem appealing, but they apply charges that are not stated or they change the way the exchange is calculated. For safe banking, use machines that are inside bank branches, or use exchange services that are recommended, like the ones in the city centre.

Before you set off, it is wise to inform the hotel's reception of your intentions. And do not forget to take a card with the hotel's address. It is quite common for taxi drivers to assert that they do not have English. If you have the address written, you will avoid any confusion. Only carry the cash you will need for the evening, along with one credit card and a photocopy of your passport. Make sure the original stays in the hotel safe. Wear a money belt, or a bag that goes over the body and stays at the front. Make sure that your phone and your wallet are in separate pockets that are zipped.
